  1. Santa Cruz included in massive recall

    Early Mavericks had a very similar recall to prevent fires if the engine exploded.
  2. Santa Cruz included in massive recall

    Worth noting: "Hyundai has reports of one fire and five heat damage incidents with no injuries. Kia has no reports of fires or injuries." Seems like a minuscule risk if it's 1 out of 571,000. Good to see them addressing it, though, since the consequences could be severe. It also sounds like...
  3. Santa Cruz included in massive recall

    That's from last year. It looks like the most recent one is related to a fire risk from the tow hitch harness/computer. It's on the front page of APnews.com.
  4. Amazed at fuel economy of 2023 HYBRID

    Maybe with some help from tail winds, downhill grades, or mild temperatures with no A/C or heat running.
  5. Amazed at fuel economy of 2023 HYBRID

    What is your driving like to achieve that? What speed and climate control etc. 47 on the highway is incredible.
  6. CSX Train Derails in Kentucky With Ford Mavericks Among Cargo 😟

    I wouldn't worry about this at all. Train accidents are down something like 40% since 2000. We are just hearing about every incident now because it's shortly after a major disaster. I doubt there are statistics, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rate of cargo lost is higher on trucks vs trains...
  7. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    The $89 air deflector is not required unless you're changing the grill, right? Also I saw the WPT-1198 pigtail for $20 on eBay.
  8. Unscheduled orders now showing up on Ford Website for some order holders

    I checked my account. I have a 23 order currently "in production" on the tracker, no modules yet. My page reports the VIN.
  9. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    I was wondering if anyone who has done this mod has thought about installing the sensor without the cover behind the unmodified XLT or XL grill. It looks like there is not enough room unless it could be mounted 1/2in or so further back somehow? And of course the grill could interfere with the...
  10. New audio system...thoughts on these picks?

    I don't have experience with the brand, but it could be the greatest sound ever and it wouldn't justify that price tag for me. I never really understood having a system like that in an otherwise normal car. You are still going to have the same amount of road and wind noise after all.
  11. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    I would hope so... Regardless, if they are actually M6 x 20mm then any self-tapping or sheet metal screw of that size should work. Imperial #14 x 3/4 would be something like 6.1mm x 19mm which I presume would work and is likely available at local hardware stores. If you want a perfect match with...
  12. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    The size would need to be pretty close to original. They are self tapping, not self drilling. If someone could put a pair of calipers on the screw diameter, you should be able to find an off the shelf alternative. You could probably get stainless steel too which would actually be superior.
  13. Totally Bonehead Move

    To speculate on this from an engineer's perspective: The reason is likely that whatever kind of speed sensor and associated circuitry is used could read 0.1 or 0.005 or -0.5 even at a standstill and it may fluctuate based on unknown circumstances like parking near power lines or a big electric...
  14. 📬 1/26/23 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    My dealer still hasn't given Ford my correct email so I knew I wouldn't get the notification, but I just checked with chat and they gave me a VIN (PRA311XX). There's no build week on the tracker, though. Is that normal? I'm wondering if I'm scheduled or not. EDIT: ⏰: No email, checked with...
